UConn star Paige Bueckers had an amazing weekend in New York. She first turned heads at NY Fashion Week, attending the "Who Decides War" show and later enjoying an Usher concert at Barclays Center.
On Saturday night, Bueckers shared a video from the lively concert with the popular R&B singer performing on stage. The crowd was ecstatic as the basketball athlete joined in, clearly enjoying the music and the moment. She tagged the singer in her Instagram story with three smiling faces with heart-eyes emojis.
Usher performed in Brooklyn, New York, as part of his sixth concert tour, "Usher: Past Present Future." After his NY trip, he will fly to Detroit next for his concert at Little Caesars Arena.
Meanwhile, Paige Bueckers, who had an outstanding performance last season, has made the most of her time off the hardwood this summer. She has attended every major sports event in the country, including the WNBA All-Star Game and recently, the U.S. Open.
On Saturday, the 6-foot guard was captured alongside Golden State star Steph Curry and Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown. She was with her UConn teammate Azzi Fudd at the NBPA training facility in New York as the duo trained and had some sessions with the NBA players.
Paige Bueckers shares her excitement about going to Fashion Week
Paige Bueckers, the highest NIL-valued female college hooper at $1.4M, per On3, ticked another item off her to-do list this summer by attending the "Who Decides War" show at New York Fashion Week on Saturday.
Bueckers was spotted at the NYFW wearing a camel-colored hoodie with artistic designs on the sleeves. She paired it with denim jeans that had text on them and finished the outfit with white sneakers.
"Hi, Marie Claire, it's Paige Bueckers, and we're here at the 'Who Decides War' show," Paige said of her experience with the French magazine. "I'm having a great time. It's my first Fashion Week, so I'm very excited to be here. It's all new to me. I'm learning.
"Stepping outside my comfort zone, continue to find who I am in fashion, exploring my masculine side, my feminine side and just mixing both, and just continue to get comfortable in my own skin and finding different ways to express myself."
Paige Bueckers posted a clip from the fashion show on her Instagram story of the models walking on a runway. Jordan Chiles, the gold medalist gymnast for the USA at the 2024 Olympics, was also among the athletes walking the runway.
